Matt Goodwin appears to have missed two key facts: 1) Andy Burnham was not already an MP 2) Nigel Farage was already an MP
Nothing screams “establishment” harder than every Westminster party having no issue whatsoever standing at the Makerfield by-election to legitimise the appointment of Andy Burnham and then clubbing together to try & delegitimise Nigel Farage at a by-election in Clacton.

I can’t believe that the legendarily robust and honest institution that is FIFA would do this
Sources: President Trump, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, and White House task force head Andrew Giuliani put together a team of elite lawyers — from outside the government — to challenge the Flo Balogun red card. Specifically they challenged the use of slow motion instant replay to give the red card, which they argued violated FIFA rules. The president also conveyed to Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s president, that the appeal had been filed and he believed the red card penalty was excessive. FIFA’s independent committee reviewed the decision and agreed the penalty was incorrectly given, rescinding it under their rule 27 authority.

Quite something that around the tenth anniversary of the Brexit campaign murder of Jo Cox he says he is the most attacked politician of the last decade. Well done Sally Nugent for pressing with Qs so many of her colleagues have decided to move on from because he doesn’t want to answer them
If you have a spare 3 mins and 45 secs today, watch this fantastic grilling by Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast. The very first time I've seen Farage questioned properly about his £5M bung, and it's fair to say, he totally fluffed it. There are points when you can see Farage tremble and even accuse the BBC of putting him in danger. 🤦‍♂️ It was for security. It was for cars. Nobody cares. It's no one's business. He won't tell us. DANGER! At one point, he let slip that the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards may 'disagree' with him on the rules around donations. He knows he's going to be found guilty on this one. He's in trouble, and his face gave it away gloriously. Top hats off to Sally Nugent. Stellar work. 👏

We gotta start talking about how this is one of the greatest movies of time. That part where Doc is drifting is forever ingrained into my mind
Happy 20th anniversary to the movie that gave us this drop-dead FANTASTIC scene!

While we're at it, potholes. I'd happily pay to operate one of these, under supervision. Most of the people in Sevenoaks work in financial services, so fantasise about doing something useful at the weekend.
I have a better suggestion. Give tube trains very good automated safety features and then make the public pay to drive them. It would be a blast. And I'd do really good announcements.

Hate to think of how many students have suffered and job applications have been ignored because the software that does stuff like this basically doesn’t work.
To confirm, this “100% AI generated” passage is the opening of chapter 5 from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

I don't know how those high up at Ipswich Town could possibly think that - complicitly or otherwise - allowing a political party to film an advert in the stadium, discuss the manager, hold up the shirt and display sponsors' names *wouldn't* be widely viewed as tacit endorsement.
Following Monday’s visit by the Reform party and its leader, Nigel Farage, the club would like to issue the following statement: Ipswich Town Football Club has, over several years, hosted representatives from a range of political parties. The club remains apolitical and does not support or endorse any individual or party. The club will continue to engage with representatives from across the political spectrum as part of its role within the community. Ipswich Town is proud to be an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming organisation that supports all members of the local and wider community. This commitment remains unchanged.
